Emotional music swells as [young girls crowd around](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strong-like-mom) the televisions in their home -- some cuddling their mothers, while others sit in silence. The ad, which was put together just hours after Wednesday's inauguration, sends a [message of hope and unity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/make-life-brighter), boasting the tagline, "When one girl rises, all girls rise." The clips, which were shot in the homes of volunteers, also includes self-published footage of young people gleefully and adoringly watching the historic moment.
